No change to Week 15 status Waller (knee/back) remains listed as out for Monday's game against the Browns.
Impact The Raiders had ruled the tight end out earlier in the week, when the game was originally scheduled for Saturday. However, as Vic Tafur of The Athletic notes, the extra two days did not provide either Waller, Denzel Perryman (ankle) or Trayvon Mullen (toe) with enough time for the team to consider upgrading their Week 15 status'. Foster Moreau therefore remains in line to head Las Vegas' TE corps versus Cleveland.

Not ready to return Waller (knee/back) won't play Saturday against the Browns, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com and Josh Dubow of the Associated Press report.
Impact Tashan Reed of The Athletic relays via interim coach Rich Bisaccia that Waller is dealing with some lingering pain in his knee, and while the tight end is making progress he's not ready for game action at this stage. Waller's next chance to suit up will arrive Sunday, Dec. 26, when the Raiders face the Broncos. Next up for the team's TE snaps this weekend is Foster Moreau.

Trending toward another absence Waller (knee/back) was spotted working out with athletic trainers off to the side of Thursday's practice, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Impact While the activity seemingly marks a step forward for Waller in his recovery from the strained knee he suffered in the Raiders' Thanksgiving Day win over the Browns, he still looks destined to go down as a non-participant on the team's final Week 15 injury report. If that's the case, Waller will likely take an "out" or "doubtful" tag into Saturday's game in Cleveland, almost certainly resulting in him missing a third consecutive contest. Foster Moreau (abdomen) has logged heavily snap shares in place of Waller the past two games and has collected nine targets along the way, but slot maven Hunter Renfrow (22-219-1 receiving line on 24 targets) has arguably benefited more from the absence of the star tight end.

Gets another DNP tag Waller (knee/back) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact The Raiders didn't actually practice, same as Tuesday, leaving Thursday as Waller's only chance to get on the field this week. Interim coach Rich Bisaccia referred to the tight end as questionable earlier this week, but it isn't looking especially promising for Waller as the Raiders prepare for Saturday's game against the Browns. Backup tight end Foster Moreau (abdomen) was listed as a limited participant Tuesday and Wednesday.

Still not practicing Waller (knee/back) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Waller hasn't practiced since straining his knee back on Thanksgiving Day in Dallas. Per Gutierrez, interim coach Rich Bisaccia called Waller "questionable" for Week 15 action Monday, but he may begin to trend in the wrong direction again as long as he stays away from the field. Ultimately, Waller likely will have to mix into one of the Raiders' remaining sessions Wednesday or Thursday to put himself on a path to play for the first time since Week 12. Fellow TE Foster Moreau (abdomen) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough, leaving Daniel Helm as the only healthy player at the position on the active roster.

Iffy for Week 15 Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said Monday that he's viewing Waller (knee) as questionable ahead of the team's Week 15 game in Cleveland on Saturday, Paul Gutierrez of ES...
Impact Bisaccia described Waller as day-to-day early on last week, only for the tight end to miss a second consecutive game on account of a strained knee. Waller didn't practice in any capacity last week before being ruled out ahead of the Raiders' loss to the Chiefs, so he'll likely need to get back on the field as at least a limited participant by Thursday before taking a designation into Saturday's contest. Las Vegas is at less-than-optimal health at tight end, as Bisaccia relayed that Waller's replacement in the lineup the past two weeks, Foster Moreau, strained a muscle in Kansas City.

If Waller is out or limited this weekend, Foster Moreau will continue to see added opportunities in the Raiders offense.
